  1. Re:duh on NSA Head Asks How To Spy Without Collecting Metadata · · Score: 1

    What they have done is illegal under the 4th, no matter how badly you want to excuse their interpretation. Thier orders clearly violate the 4th and they should have been protesting such illegal actions, not enacting them. I dont excuse those that execute other's illegal will. Everyone who knowingly violates the 4th amendment in such a gross manner is a traitor.

    Fuck you. Thats the only intelligent response i can come up with for explicitly saying its ok to spy on 6.7 billion people. We should NOT be doing this.

    Even if all you say is true, the government has no right to cast its gaze on things protected by the 4th.

    A kid growing up in Detroit in the 90s wouldn't be caught dead in a foreign car. I knew guys who wouldn't let you park in their driveway if you drove a foreign car. Mustangs/Camaros/Grand Nationals are what we had to work with.

    First of all its a drunk driving case, so hes on the wrong side of the argument to begin with. IN THAT light, i can see Florida extended their rights to private roadways in the name of safety. However, i dont feel that this particular argument would apply to privately placed stop signs, due to the fact that they are arbitrarily placed by untrained/unauthorized personnel.

    Its called fly-by-wire because the entire idea was pulled from planes. Also, you can accurately call operating a motor vehicle 'piloting'

    Burnouts are classified as unsafe acceleration. This system actually puts a kink in that. You cant say its uncontrolled if the computer is keeping you rock solid.

    Nuclear weapons are powerful tools too, that doesnt mean we should use it indiscriminately. You need to find a new talking point. Using the word 'terrorist' no longer sells like it used to. When i was a kid we faced NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION, and managed to keep Liberty pretty well intact.
